Where are you located?

Tutoring sessions take place at my home in Fairfax City, VA in a private backyard office.

Do you offer virtual tutoring?

I do not offer virtual tutoring at this time. 

Will you come to my home to work with my child?

In order to offer a consistent, distraction free environment, with all of the necessary learning tools available for every student, all tutoring will take place in my private tutoring space.  

How much does tutoring cost?

• 30 min session $50.00
• 60 min session $90.00

All session times include 5 minutes at the end for family check in.  Half hour sessions will include 25 minutes of tutoring time and hour long sessions will include 55 minutes of tutoring time. Reading tutoring requires 60 min sessions (2-3 tutoring sessions per week are recommended in order to work through the sequence of skills at a rate that is most beneficial to your child).

Are there any additional costs?

There is a one time material fee for all students:

• Reading Students $30.00
• Math Students $20.00

What forms of payment do you accept?

Payment is due at the time of session or weekly (available for multiple sessions during one week).

• Cash
• Check made payable to Ashley Rosenlund
• Venmo payment to @Ashley-Rosenlund

What if I need to cancel a session? 

With the exception of illnesses and emergencies, sessions canceled within 24 hours will be charged as a full session. Rescheduling a session may be possible with at least one-week notice and is subject to availability. Multiple absences or disciplinary issues may result in termination of services.

What assessments will you use?

Math: I will use Add+Vantage Math Recovery assessments for number words and numerals, structuring numbers, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, and place value.

Reading: Depending on your child’s age and grade level I will administer the Phonological Awareness Skills Test along with IMSE (Institute for Multi-Sensory Education) assessments of alphabet awareness, phonemes (smallest units of sound) and graphemes (the way we write sounds), and reading and writing of words and sentences. 

Over the course of your student’s tutoring journey I will use various forms of informal assessments to track their progress and adjust my instruction. If I would like to administer any additional formal assessments, I will communicate that with parents/guardians prior to administration.

What precautions are you taking to mitigate exposure to COVID-19?

• Student and tutor are not required to wear a mask but are always welcome too.
• Student and tutor will use hand sanitizer prior to the start of a tutoring session.
• When possible, materials will only be used by one student (pencils, crayons, etc.) and stored for them between sessions.  All other materials, when possible, will be cleaned before and after use (cleaning of book pages is an example of something that is not possible).
• Workspace will be thoroughly cleaned after each session
• If student, or anyone in the household has been exposed to COVID-19 or is exhibiting any symptoms of being sick, please call me right away. We will assess the circumstances together and determine if we need to cancel/reschedule any upcoming tutoring sessions.
• If I, or anyone in my home has been exposed to COVID-19 or is exhibiting any symptoms of being sick, I will contact you right away to discuss rescheduling.
• If anyone in your household (or mine) is traveling outside of Virginia, you agree to openly communicate with me in regards to when travel will occur, mode of transportation, and any other pertinent details. Current CDC guidelines will inform decisions about resuming tutoring sessions following travel.
